I am so sorry I have been away. I have been fighting a cold for about a week or so. I haven't really had much energy at all. Anyway, on the subject of health,
I believe in taking common sense steps to avoid Corona virus & other illnesses, but some people seem to have literally gone crazy with fear.
I know by now that many media outlets blow things out of proportion for ratings and viewers, and it's "feeding the beast" as the saying goes. People need to research facts and respond appropriately, not go out & panic buy everything on store shelves.

I'm glad you're back and feeling better. There will always be some that panic and hoard which makes it so much more difficult for the rest of the population. Stay safe and healthy.

I hope you are feeling better. What makes me laugh is the way that people have been stockpiling toilet rolls and pasta of all things. What has toilet paper got to do with this illness anyway, and if all the services are down , then how will people cook all the pasta if there is no electricity?

Glad you are feeling better and I know what you mean it's crazy people are buying things that aren't even useful but if people are going to stock up they need to save some for everyone else
